In Memorium



“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.”
Eskimo Proverb

One of my patients died today. An elderly man who was loved much by his family. His wife was waiting alone in the dayroom for her family to arrive. It had already been a couple of hours since he had gone before her. I stopped to talk to her, and she told me a few of things. One: He knew today was the day. Two: They were married 56 years. Three: She knew he was in a better place for he had been in pain for the last 4 months. And a few other things too.

All the while, as I watched her face, I thought...even knowing in your head all these things, I can see your heart is breaking.

I saw pain, death, and grief today...but I also saw love, grace and courage.

Never let a day go by without telling those who matter to you how much they mean to you.

I Will Be Free - Cindy Morgan

The mountains are steep
And the valleys low
Already I'm weary
But I have so far to go
Oh, and sorrow holds my hand
And suffering sings me songs
But when I close my eyes
I know to whom I belong
Who makes me strong

I will be free
I will be free to run the mountains
I will be free
Free to drink from the living fountain
Oh, I'll never turn back
'Cause He waits for me
Oh, I will be free

A wise man, a rich man
In pauper's clothes
A shepherd to lead us
Through the land of woes
Though many battles I have lost
So many rivers yet to cross
But when my eyes behold the Son
Who bore my loss, who paid the cost

I will be free
I will be free to run the mountains
I will be free
Free to drink from the living fountain
Oh, I'll never turn back
'Cause He waits for me
Oh, I will be free

Oh, and I'll dance on silver moonlight
And I'll walk through velvet fields
Oh, and I'll run into the arms
The arms that set me free

I will be free
I will be free to run the mountains
I will be free
Free to drink from the living fountain
Oh, I'll never turn back
'Cause He waits....
I'll never turn back
Don't you ever turn back
Because someday, someday we're gonna see
We will be free

So I'm paranoid...wha? o.O

Ok...fyi: I'm still a little paranoid on the net. I always want to be sure no one can find me...but I think technology has made that point moot.

But I feel the need to try.

Also, I don't like posting in multiple places...so this place, myspace, etc., have gone by the wayside for the most part.

I like to use LiveJournal. If you want to follow me there and be friended, please do so.

I got an idea from someone else to start a Scrapbook for 2008. So please feel free to take a look.
